Summary
Appeals court halts construction of Trump’s $400m White House ballroom. The administration contended in court filings that a statute permitting the White House to perform routine maintenance and repairs to the executive mansion provides a legal justification for the project. The National Trust for Historic Preservation filed the lawsuit after the East Wing was demolished and construction began on the new facility.
Furthermore, The ballroom project came together quickly after Mr. Trump announced it last summer. Donald Trump, who demolished the historic East Wing of the White House last year to make way for planned ballroom, has repeatedly touted it as “a gift” to the US people. The judges stayed their decision for 14 days to give the government the chance to appeal.
In addition, The Trust also questioned the $400 million project's funding mechanism, which the president claims is largely from private donations. In a 2-1 decision, the court affirmed the modified preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon. A judge recently ordered the removal of Trump’s name from the exterior of the Kennedy Center performing arts complex after ruling that the addition was unlawful.
Moreover, Court also delays its ruling for two weeks, giving US president opportunity to appeal to Supreme Court.
